dchurchi Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Well I am very happy to report Alan had his last radiation treatment this morning . Alan had the typical side effects, Fatigue, loss of appetite, lost about 9 pounds and had some nasty radiation burn. The early indiactions are that the treatments zapped the H*LL out of the tumor and is considered a success. We will now concentrate on getting weight back on him and building up his strength. Follow up scans in about 4-6 weeks. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers through this latest battle with the beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
